Contra is a fun form of community dance where you begin and finish one dance (about 10min) with the same partner, progressing up and down the hall in long lines while you dance with different sets of other couples, repeating a sequence of moves guided by the caller. Essentially it’s lots of fun AND excellent exercise.

Dance 8:00pm-11:00pm with free beginner lesson at 7:30pm where basic moves are taught.

at Churchill Rec Centre in Westboro, 345 Richmond Road – side door

$12 general ; $10 members & students (with ID); free for youth 16 and under.
First-time contra dancers receive a card to attend their second dance free*

Note: this is a regular event, the first and third Saturday of every month Sept-June.
